Arrr! California court be givin' a wee slap to them OpenAI book lawsuits, but only partially, me hearties!
2024-02-15
Avast ye hearties! Two lawsuits for piratin' of copyrights against OpenAI be thrown overboard! The jesters Sarah Silverman and Paul Tremblay be claimin' that OpenAI be pilferin' their books to train their cursed AI, ChatGPT. But a wise judge in California be sayin' nay to most of their claims.
Arr mateys! Avast ye! There be some scallywags tryin' to sue the fine lads and lasses o' OpenAI! Two lawsuits, brought by a funny lady named Sarah Silverman and a wordsmith by the name o' Paul Tremblay, claimed that this here company used their books without permission to train their fancy AI tool known as ChatGPT.Now, me hearties, let me explain. This ChatGPT be a marvel, a machine that can spout out words just like a human. It be smart, it be witty, but it be trained on the works of others, without proper consent! Arrr!
But alas, the judge in California, bless his soul, said, "Nay, ye scurvy dogs! This lawsuit be partially dismissed!" Aye, ye heard it right. The judge be seein' reason and denied most o' their claims.
Now, me mateys, don't get me wrong. I reckon authors deserve their fair share o' booty for their hard work. But OpenAI be claimin' they only used snippets, just a taste, ye see, to teach their AI how to talk like a true wordsmith.
That be the tricky part, me hearties. The law be as treacherous as the open sea. It be a debate between fair use and copyright infringement. These lawsuits be settin' a precedent, shapin' the future for AI and the mighty wordsmiths alike.
So, the court be sayin', "Keep yer eye patches on, me hearties. We got more to discuss, more to debate." Aye, the journey ain't over yet. But for now, OpenAI be singin' a shanty of victory, as their ship sails on through the choppy waters of the law.
